Organized in partnership with the REFRESH collective and Hunter College Art Galleries, Refiguring the Future is a new exhibition (Feb. 8 – Mar. 31) and conference (Feb. 9 – 10) offering a politically engaged and inclusive vision of the intersection of art, science, and technology.

Curated by REFRESH collective members Heather Dewey-Hagborg and Dorothy R. Santos, the exhibition title is inspired by artist Morehshin Allahyari’s work defining a concept of “refiguring” as a feminist, de-colonial, and activist practice. Informed by the punk ethos of do-it-yourself (DIY), the 18 artists featured in Refiguring the Future deeply mine the historical and cultural roots of our time, pull apart the artifice of contemporary technology, and sift through the pieces to forge new visions of what could become.
